OFF

Make sure the control box power switch is in the OFF position.

STEP 8

Unscrew and remove the front cover of the control box and slide battery into position with its terminals to the left (see illustration). Make sure the battery fits snugly in control box.

Connect the black battery lead to the negative (–) terminal,

RED WIRE to positive (+)

and the red battery lead to the positive (+) terminal. DO NOT allow battery leads to touch the control board! Touching the control board with battery leads can short circuit the system!

BLACK WIRE to negative (–)

HINT: a dab of household petroleum jelly on each terminal will help prevent corrosion.

INSTALLATION OF THE GTO TRANSFORMER

Choose the electrical outlet into which the transformer will be plugged. Measure the distance from the electrical outlet to the control box, following the path where the low voltage wire will run (the maximum distance can be no more than 1000 ft.).

NOTE: Transformer must be connected with no more than 1000 ft. of 16 gauge multi-stranded, dual conductor, direct burial low voltage wire.

Predicting the exact maximum number of operational cycles at peak load is more of an art form than an exact science. The charts below illustrate the average maximum number of cycles (the ÒMNCÓ) in a 24 hour period on a typical single gate, and is installed such that the motor draws 10 amperes to move the gate.

1)The MNC for the GTO/PRO SL-2000 is roughly comparable to most AC powered operators, and the transformer provided with this operator should handle most high traffic situations. If the battery does not seem to be able to provide the constant charge required for your application, the addition of the GTO/PRO 24 Amp Hour Battery Kit (see Accessoy Catalog) should provide ample power to handle any situation.

SL-1000, SL-2000 specifications

The GTO SL-2000 and SL-1000 are advanced gate operators designed for efficient and reliable automation of heavy-duty swing gates. These models are renowned for their robust construction and innovative technologies that enhance both performance and security.

The SL-2000 is particularly suited for large, dual-swing gates weighing up to 2,000 pounds, making it a perfect choice for commercial and industrial settings. In comparison, the SL-1000 is designed for lighter gates that weigh up to 1,000 pounds, suitable for residential and light commercial applications. Both models are engineered to provide smooth, quiet operation, which is vital for residential areas where noise reduction is essential.

One of the standout features of both the SL-2000 and SL-1000 is their advanced DC motor technology. This allows for variable speed operation, providing a slower, more controlled movement during the opening and closing cycles. Such functionality not only enhances safety but also minimizes wear and tear on the gate mechanism, ensuring longevity.

Both models are equipped with obstacle detection technology that halts the gate's movement if an obstruction is encountered. This safety feature helps prevent accidents and damage, a critical aspect in environments where individuals and vehicles are present.

In terms of installation, the GTO SL series is designed for ease of use, featuring a straightforward setup process with clear instructions and minimal tools required. Additionally, the SL-2000 and SL-1000 include a built-in rechargeable battery backup, ensuring that the gate operates even during power outages.

Security is a top priority with both gate operators. They incorporate rolling code technology in their remote controls, which changes the access code with each activation, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Furthermore, the SL series supports multiple remote controls, allowing for convenient access for users while maintaining security.

Durability is another hallmark of the GTO SL-2000 and SL-1000. Both operators are built with weather-resistant materials, ensuring they can withstand various environmental conditions. This resilience makes them a solid investment for long-term use.

In conclusion, the GTO SL-2000 and SL-1000 are state-of-the-art gate operators that combine cutting-edge technology with superior safety features, making them a reliable choice for enhancing the automation of swing gates in diverse applications. Their ease of installation, robust construction, and advanced functionalities are significant advantages for property owners seeking secure and efficient access solutions.
